Jay was brushing Adi’s teeth one night when both of Adi’s front two teeth fell out. Jay and the girls screamed in excitement as I stood there with tears dripping down my face. I’d like to blame it on being 9 months pregnant, but no, I’m pretty sure I would’ve cried even without the pregnancy hormones. She is only 5 1/2 years old. Isn’t she way too young to be losing her teeth already? I just couldn’t believe it. Time was going by way too fast and I felt so helpless as there was nothing I could do to control it.
After we were able to calm the girls down at the prospect of the tooth fairy visiting and putting her two teeth under her pillow, they finally fell asleep. As Jay and I came out of their room I said to him, “Oh shoot, I should’ve gone to the bank and got some cold coins! I didn’t think her teeth were going to fall out this soon!” and to that Jay replied, “I already went to the bank and got gold coins.” “When?” I asked. “As soon as her teeth were becoming loose.” Jay said.
It was really late at night, and I was ready to put some gold coins under Adi’s pillow and call it good and go to bed. But no, Jay had another idea in his mind. He wanted to build a fairy door that the fairy could travel through, and also make sure the tooth fairy wrote Adi a legit tooth fairy letter. So I watched my tall, muscular husband build a tiny little fairy door using his giant hands(our friends also all agree how big his hands are) as he built a fairy door and put little stickers, glitters, ribbons, tiny pearls and jewels with hearts and flowers on them. He had never looked more manly or sexy to me as he did that night. After 1 hour and 45 mins. later at almost 2 a.m, Adi had a legit letter from the tooth fairy, gold coins, and the fairy door near her bed.
Jay improvised using this doll house kit that was lying around forever
not too shabby for improvising with whatever we had at the last minute! only the tooth fairy could open and close the door and this is how the tooth fairy was able to come to our house to pay Adi a visit.
Gosh, how can I not adore this husband of mine?
